In their own words
AnthemScore
AnthemScore converts audio into sheet music, PDF, or MIDI using AI. Its desktop app uses machine learning to identify notes, percussion, beats, and instruments, then lets users adjust notes, measures, signatures, and tempo. Playback can be slowed without changing pitch. Scores can be formatted for an instrument's key, range, and staff, including standard notation or tablature. AnthemScore Web accepts audio or MIDI and offers PDF, MusicXML, and MIDI output; listed inputs include MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, OGG, MP4, and MID, plus microphone recording. Desktop downloads are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux and require a 64-bit laptop or desktop. The desktop FAQ lists MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, WavPack, and MusePack support, but excludes DRM-protected files. The free web plan has a 14-day full-song trial, then permits unlimited 30-second clips. Paid web plans are $8.33 a month and $24.99 a month, billed annually; desktop purchases range from $29, paid once to $99, paid once.
